Nine Lives 1979 [Intro] E A B A B E [Verse]
E
South of the border and busted

A
Caught by a woman I trusted

              B
Now don't you call me a fool

              A
It could have happened to you
It's just my luck
          B         E
It had to happen to me

E
Sweet Carmelita betrayed me

           A
She said, "Take me home, serenade me."

B                      A
I figured a song could do me no wrong

                  B             E
I didn't know how wrong I could be
[Chorus 1]
     A                         E
Easy money for just one run to Peru

            F#m
It'll be so easy

B                             A        B
We'll have no trouble gettin' through

              A                                   E
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard

          F#m           B
He opened up my guitar, hello prison yard

A            B           E
Goodbye easy money, easy money
[Verse]
E
The chiquita must have told 'em my story

               A
'Cause when my eyes finally focused next morning

     B                     A
Carmelita had spoken 'bout guitars and some coke

                        B             E
And she laughed as they slapped me in chains

E
I was thrown in cell with a killer

  A
A convict who coughed through the night

      B                     A
While I laid awake with the chills and shakes

             B         E
Hoping for a file in a cake
[Chorus 1]
     A                         E
Easy money for just one run to Peru

            F#m
It'll be so easy

B                             A        B
We'll have no trouble gettin' through

              A                                   E
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard

          F#m           B
He opened up my guitar, hello prison yard

A            B           E
Goodbye easy money, easy money

It'll be so easy

B                             A        B

          F#m           B
He opened up my guitar, hello prison yard

A                      B
Just to make me mad he smashed my guitar

A                 B            E
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye easy money
